"The Standing Man (revised)

Hi Gillian, what a wonderful and very moving piece of writing this is. I've really enjoyed everything about it and would loved to have read on! That's a sign of a good story for me, the fact that I didn't want to put it down.

The main characters were so believable .. I've marked you all fives because it's probably one of the most moving pieces of work I have read on this site, and there have been some great ones ..


... Hope this helps. PS: The split POV with both your characters in first person is brill and quite hard to carry off but you do this really well. The very best of luck with this it deserves it. "

Synopsis
When ex-IRA man Charlie returns to the church where he caused carnage ten years earlier, he meets Elizabeth who is struggling to forgive him for killing her mother.
